LOW TOP SNEAKERS
Designer low-top sneakers offer women dynamic footwear that responds to the changing needs of contemporary mobility. Ornamental, punchy statement pieces in metallic leathers, bold color schemes, and intricate patterns move the eye, while monochromatic designs inhabit a neutral versatility with minimalist grace. The contemporary explosion of sneaker styles reflects technical achievements in materials research, aesthetic innovation, and the myriad of new contexts in which sneakers provide appropriate support. Signalling personality, lifestyle ethos, and a multitude of other subliminal characteristics, the profusion of styles reflects a golden age of sneaker culture. Buffed leather, jersey, suede, and velvet feature as key materials. Accents like studs, logo stamps, contrasting heel counters, and logo pull-loops add complexity. Avant-garde pieces in technical fabrics like neoprene and coated textiles radically rethink the significations of the sneaker and explore new emotional responses. Stretch knit and Ultraknit sneakers provide a low silhouetted, futuristic form with unique tactile interest, exact fit, and lightweight comfort.
